MRG has ringed over 40,000 waders (shorebirds), providing
details of many interesting long-distance movements. The maps presented here
show just the ringing and finding place, linked by a line. There is no analysis
of age of the bird, season or timing of the movement, and no implication that
the line is the track that the bird followed. More detailed analysis of some
species will follow later, but from these maps we can just marvel at the
journeys undertaken and the places that are linked by these world-travellers. We
are proud to be playing a part in understanding their complex lives.
